At Park View Pharmacy, our NHS‑funded Pharmacy First service provides same‑day assessment and treatment for uncomplicated infected insect bites — no GP referral required. If you’re experiencing redness, swelling, pain or signs of infection following an insect bite, our expert pharmacists can assess your symptoms, recommend self‑care measures and, if clinically appropriate, prescribe antibiotics on the spot.
What Is the NHS Pharmacy First Infected Insect Bite Service?
Pharmacy First is an NHS initiative enabling pharmacists to diagnose and treat common conditions without needing a GP appointment. For infected insect bites, this includes:
✔ Clinical examination of the affected area
✔ Advice on cleaning, dressings and pain relief
✔ Prescription of antibiotics if you meet NHS criteria
✔ Referral to your GP or urgent care for red‑flag symptoms
For full NHS eligibility criteria and official guidance, visit the NHS Pharmacy First service page and the NHS insect bite information page.
